What Does Pro Se Representation Mean?
While it is never a decision to be taken lightly, in some cases it may be more judicious or affordable to represent yourself directly in court, rather than through an attorney. This is called Pro Se Representation, derived from the Latin for “on behalf of oneself”, it is also often referred to as “Self Representation”.
While it will spare you the cost of finding then retaining or hiring an attorney, it does not mean you can just walk into court unprepared. Judges will still require you to bring all the necessary documents and correctly filled out forms, respect all deadlines involved in the case, follow court rules, and be able to clearly state your case.
If you are not able to do so, you run the risk of losing your case or having it dismissed outright.
Self Representation In Pro Se Divorce – Is It Possible? Is It A Good Idea?
One area where Pro Se Representation is often used, or attempted, is divorce. In Family Law or Tribal Family Law Court, some divorces are relatively straightforward and amicable and involve few important financial stakes or disputed custody issues that might require the services of a qualified and experienced attorney.
In such divorce cases, Pro Se representation might be the optimal strategy for you, though it is still highly recommended you take full advantage of online services or free or affordable law firms services to inform yourself completely on procedures, required forms, and court rules and deadlines to avoid making mistakes which might undermine the judicial proceeding.
For divorce cases in which there are important stakes, whether under Tribal Court Law or Oklahoma state law — such as those involving important financial considerations, disputes over child custody, or dangerous abuse or harmful behavior — it is still recommended to employ the services of a qualified and experienced attorney. Though if you cannot afford one, our law firm can and will do what we can to help you navigate this difficult situation on your own.
